What Are Commuter Benefits Exactly?

The Unabridged Version: In 1984, the IRS decided to give hard-working citizens, like you and your employees, tax-free benefits for commuting to work via public transportation since most employers offered free parking. Today’s benefits, IRS Section 132(f), have been expanded to include parking, vanpools and even biking as parking costs in most cities are at a premium, and transit ridership fees are on the rise.

Where do they come from?

IRS Section 132(f) makes it possible for tax-paying commuters to get more out of their paychecks by reducing commuting costs up to 40% and for employers to cut down their payroll taxes on average by 7.65%.Still awake?

Personal Attention and Great Service

by Benjamin T. via InsiderpagesThe personal attention that American Benefits Group has given all of our clients has been great. It seems that the FSA administrators that we have dealt with in the past only give the good service to the big clients. With American Benefits it's good for all sizes. The flex debit card has been a wonderful service for our clients' employees.
